  • Yeah, D.C.'s gun controls laws have been so successful. They were the murder capital of the country for years despite being smaller population wise than other major metro areas.

    The D.C. cops are incompetent. At least give law abiding citizens a chance against the criminal element.

  • The only way for any nation to remain free is to have a public body that stands as a greater force then that of government This power of the people so to speak will be destroyed if the government has a monopoly on firearms. And our power is already being lost as our weapons are regulated and inadequate to a military standard. Im not afraid of a totalitarian state, least not yet But one thing is for sure and that is that the first way to get there is for the people to let themselves be disarmed

  • Don't think the 2A isn't important? Well in the US a firearm is used in self defense every 13seconds, 9/10 of the time not one shot is fired and no one gets hurt. I'm willing to bet also that had the "victim" not been armed, the "attacker" would've gotten his/ her way (with potentially deadly results). Owning a gun is a two edge sword, just as easily as you can use one to save a life, you can end a life.

  • The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Heller, eat shit Mayor Fenty!

  • just go into that court and shoot the fuck out of all the commies! PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS!

  • yah cuz when you fuckers take away the peoples guns that will definatly make the criminals stop buying them at the black market huh yah right! fucking dipshit ass fuckers! second civil war! second civil war! wooooooooo rebels kick yall yankee asses back to where yall came from! rebels rule!

  • im with u 100% man

  • Considering that the mayor is surrounded by armed body guards everywhere he goes, I don't think that's going to happen.

    I think he'd reconsider his gun ban if it applied to his own bodyguards instead of just everyone else in D. C.

  • Hope the mayor gets raped and then he will change his mind.

  • If they rule against the second they are risking a civil war. I think we all know what will happen, they are going to rule pro-gun, but are going to pussy foot around it saying that "Reaonable Gun Control" is ok, just not outright bans.

    We have already lost most of our rights, we are going to have to vote from the rooftops all to soon, and God help us all when that happens.
